Tech Xplore / Beyond the Fitbit: Why your next health tracker might be a button on your shirt
Measuring human movement with tracking devices on looser clothing is more accurate than on tight body suits or straps. This discovery by scientists at King's College London could mark a potential breakthrough for a range ...
Phys.org / Machine learning reveals hidden landscape of robust information storage
In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers used machine learning to discover multiple new classes of two-dimensional memories, systems that can reliably store information despite constant environmental ...
Medical Xpress / Unraveling the mystery of why some cancer treatments stop working
Cancer researchers working on immunotherapies have made a big discovery: SLAMF6, a molecule on the surface of immune cells that prevents T cells from effectively attacking tumors—and, in mice, they've found a way to neutralize ...
Medical Xpress / Why visceral fat triggers diabetes: Study points to loss of protective macrophages
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine discovered a surprising new way the body can fight insulin resistance and diabetes—by boosting a special type of "good" immune cell in fat tissue.
Phys.org / Ambitious climate action could save 1.32 million lives a year by 2040
Ambitious climate action to improve global air quality could save up to 1.32 million lives per year by 2040, according to a new study. The research, led by Cardiff University, shows how developing countries rely heavily on ...
Medical Xpress / Light-based sensor detects early molecular signs of cancer in the blood
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to spot early signs of cancer ...
Medical Xpress / AI-built maps reveal causal gene regulation across Alzheimer's brain cell types
Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes causally regulate one another ...
Phys.org / Vulcan rocket launch suffers fiery booster issue but makes it to space, company says
United Launch Alliance suffered yet another fiery burn-through on one of its solid rocket boosters during a national security mission Thursday.
Phys.org / Bio-based coating reveals harmful UV exposure by shifting color
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a coating using proteins and bacteria that could enable the development of T-shirts that warn of excessive sun exposure or labels that reveal damage to ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified brain circuit and cells link prior experiences to appetite
Our past experiences shape how much we eat and where and what we choose to eat. Using preclinical models, researchers from Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified brain cells that translate ...
Medical Xpress / Cholesterol crystals may trigger some liver disease
Cholesterol crystals in the liver may stiffen the organ early in those with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)—well before scarring develops—according to new research from a team in the Perelman ...
Phys.org / Saturn's moon Titan could have formed in a merger of two old moons
Recent research suggests that Saturn's bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons. While Cassini's 13-year mission expanded our understanding of Saturn, the discoveries ...
